Sunday in the Sun

Sage, waiting on Daddy and Mommy

Today has been an active one.  With a forecast of over 70 degrees, there was no way we weren't going to spend a lot of it outdoors.  So, we began with a walk down to One Yoga Saratoga where I went for the 1 hour of Hot Inversion Yoga.  Sage led the way on his balance bike and while I did yoga, he and Becca went down to Congress Park.

Yoga was challenging, but it was different than expected.  For one, I didn't think it would be on the hot side, so class started at a nice and balmy 104 degrees!  If you think doing handstands and headstands is tough, you should give them a try when it's so hot that it's challenging to breathe and you're covered head to toe in buckets of sweat.  Still, I felt like the class was well worth my while.

Foreman Elliot, would you take orders from this guy?!?

Once Sage went down for his nap, Becca suggested I for a bike ride, so I grudgingly went while Becca got do yard work with Elliot acting as foreman.  It was a short 30 minutes out, but it was really my first time riding my bike since getting it from Pat.  It needs to be more properly fitted to me, but it rides great and feels fast.  On this ride I tried to keep my heart rate in check and found that it was a little more challenging to keep a steady heart rate than with running.  If I was on a trainer I'm sure it'd be more consistent, but on the open road with all the hills it definitely was up and down.

Finally, we took a family run down to Saratoga State Park just before dinner so the boys could enjoy the weather and a nice ride in the Bob.  We took it easy, but it was a great run.  We even experimented with taking pictures while running!  What do you think?  ===============>>
